Summary

Follow-up to #4281. Every diagnostic this adapter emits about a checkpoint reports its size in bytes, and a byte count cannot distinguish a snapshot that contains the suspended tool call from one that merely arrived after it.

That distinction is the whole remaining question in #4245. capturedAfterClientTool is set from arrival order (cursor.ts:312), and conversationCheckpointUpdate is classified liveness-only (live-transport.ts:1221), so arrival is not coverage — which is why #4281 deliberately left the native wire-model gate in place instead of guessing.

ConversationStateStructure.pendingToolCalls is documented upstream as "raw JSON stringified tool-call content parts awaiting execution". A non-zero count on a suspended turn is the coverage evidence.

What this adds

cursorCheckpointShape(bytes) in checkpoint-store.ts decodes a snapshot and returns counts onlyturns, turnsOld, rootPromptMessages, todos, pendingToolCalls. The strings are request content and are never read. It returns undefined on absent, empty, or undecodable input, so a diagnostic can never throw into the request path.

Wired into checkpoint-commit-refused as capturedShape, guarded by isDebugEnabled() so the decode does not run on a normal request.

This converts an open question from "build an instrumented binary and decode bytes by hand" into "read one log line". It is also the general fix for the failure mode that dominated this investigation: four separate conclusions in devlog/_plan/260911_cursor_checkpoint_capture/ rested on an observable that did not mean what it appeared to mean.

Verification

  • bun run typecheck — clean.
  • bun test tests/providers/cursor/cursor-tool-suspended-checkpoint.test.ts — 5 pass, 0 fail. New tests cover a snapshot with a pending call, an equal-shaped one without (which byte length cannot separate), and the fail-closed paths for absent, empty and undecodable bytes.
  • bun run privacy:scan — passed.
  • Full suite left to CI.

Scope

Diagnostics only. No routing, request, or commit behaviour changes; the native gate is untouched. Reading capturedShape.pendingToolCalls off a live refusal after this ships is what decides whether that gate can move — recorded in 040_wp5_coverage_instrument.md, including why the live read was not forced now (it would have required copying a credential store or clobbering a running proxy's pid and admin-token files).

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Refs #4245

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added debug diagnostics that report the structural contents of Cursor checkpoints, including pending tool calls.
    • Checkpoint diagnostics now help distinguish snapshots containing suspended tool calls from those without them.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid, empty, or unreadable checkpoint data is handled safely without interrupting requests.
  • Documentation

    • Updated development documentation with findings from checkpoint capture experiments and coverage analysis.

…le from logs

Every checkpoint diagnostic reported bytes, which cannot distinguish a snapshot that contains the suspended tool call from one that merely arrived after it - the exact gap that leaves the native wire-model gate undecidable in #4245. cursorCheckpointShape returns counts only, never content, and the decode is skipped unless provider debug is on.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds cursorCheckpointShape to decode structural checkpoint counts. Debug-only refusal diagnostics now include those counts. Tests cover pending tool detection and fail-closed handling. Planning documents record the related workstream outcomes.

P1 Badge Update the Cursor structure owner with this instrumentation

This changes checkpoint diagnostics within the src/adapters/ area, but its owning document, structure/providers/cursor.md, is unchanged. That leaves the repository’s authoritative Cursor checkpoint description out of sync with the new decoded-shape diagnostic contract; update the owner document in this change to describe the counts-only, debug-gated instrumentation.

capturedAfterClientTool is assigned in src/adapters/cursor.ts at Line 318, not cursor.ts:312. Update this reference so the diagnostic evidence remains traceable.

리뷰 · 우선순위 72 / 80

이 PR은 #4281 다음에 오는 Cursor 체크포인트 조사의 진단 도구입니다. 지금 dev HEAD는 c1ce2560e이고, 바로 아래에는 #4281(체크포인트 finalize grace)과 #4282(DeepSeek V4.1 레지스트리)가 있습니다. #4281까지는 “툴 호출 뒤에 스냅샷이 왔는가”를 capturedAfterClientTool로 말할 수 있게 됐지만, 그 값이 true여도 “스냅샷 안에 그 툴 호출이 들어 있는가”는 아직 모릅니다. 도착 순서와 내용 커버리지는 다른 문제입니다.

지금까지 진단은 capturedBytes만 찍었습니다. 바이트 수는 크기만 알려 주고, 안에 pendingToolCalls가 있는지 없는지는 구분하지 못합니다. 그래서 #4245의 네이티브 와이어 모델 게이트를 열어도 되는지 닫아 둬야 하는지를 로그로 결정할 수 없었습니다. 이 PR은 그 빈칸을 메웁니다.

src/adapters/cursor/checkpoint-store.tscursorCheckpointShape를 추가합니다. 스냅샷 바이트를 protobuf로 풀어서 turns, turnsOld, rootPromptMessages, todos, pendingToolCalls개수만 돌려줍니다. 문자열 내용은 읽지 않습니다. 없거나 비었거나 깨진 바이트는 undefined를 주고, try/catch로 요청 경로에 예외를 올리지 않습니다.

src/adapters/cursor.tscheckpoint-commit-refused 진단에 capturedShape로 붙입니다. isDebugEnabled()가 켜져 있을 때만 decode합니다. debugProviderDiagnostic도 이미 같은 플래그로 early-return 하지만, details 객체를 먼저 만들면 debug는 항상 돌아가므로, 이 가드는 CPU/디코드 비용을 막는 올바른 위치입니다. 동작·커밋·네이티브 게이트 자체는 건드리지 않습니다. 진단만입니다.

테스트는 tests/providers/cursor/cursor-tool-suspended-checkpoint.test.ts에 pending이 있는 스냅샷과 없는 스냅샷(바이트만으로는 구분 안 됨), 그리고 absent/empty/undecodable fail-closed를 넣었습니다. bun typecheck·해당 테스트·privacy:scan은 PR 본문 기준 통과입니다. devlog _plan/260911_cursor_checkpoint_capture/에 wp2b delivered-elsewhere 마감과 wp5 문서(040_wp5_coverage_instrument.md)가 같이 들어 있어, 다음 사람이 “아직 실험용 바이너리가 필요하다”고 오해하지 않게 정리돼 있습니다.

라인 수준으로는 큰 결함은 없습니다. 아래는 확인·기록용 포인트입니다.

라인 src/adapters/cursor.ts (capturedShape 배선) - capturedShape는 refuse 경로에만 붙습니다. 의도된 범위입니다. 다만 외부 모델이 커밋에 성공한 경로에는 shape가 없어서, 나중에 “성공 커밋 vs refuse”를 같은 필드로 비교하려면 별도 배선이 필요합니다.
라인 src/adapters/cursor/checkpoint-store.ts (cursorCheckpointShape) - 카운트만 반환하고 본문 문자열은 읽지 않습니다. privacy 관점에서 맞습니다. pendingToolCalls가 스키마상 string[]인 점과 문서 설명이 일치하는지, 라이브 로그 한 번으로 최종 확인하면 됩니다.
라인 tests/.../cursor-tool-suspended-checkpoint.test.ts (shape describe) - 순수 함수 단위 테스트만 있습니다. checkpoint-commit-refused 로그에 shape가 실제로 실리는지(어댑터+debug on) 통합 assert는 없습니다. 이번 범위에서는 허용 가능하고, 라이브 리드가 그 검증을 대신합니다.
경로 #4245 - 이슈는 이미 landed-via-maintainer로 CLOSED입니다. 이 PR은 남은 네이티브 게이트 질문을 로그로 답하게 만드는 후속입니다. 결과를 어디에 남길지(새 이슈 vs 짧은 코멘트)만 정해 두면 됩니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • CI 그린 후 바로 머지할지, 아니면 같은 머신에서 debug on 라이브 리드까지 한 번에 묶을지
  • 라이브 결과(pendingToolCalls > 0 vs === 0)를 새 이슈로 열지, 닫힌 #4245에 코멘트만 남길지
  • 성공 커밋 경로에도 shape를 심을지(지금은 refuse만)

너의 추천
CI(해당 Cursor 테스트 포함) 그린 확인 뒤 바로 머지하세요. 동작 변경이 없고 #4245 네이티브 게이트 결정을 막던 관측 공백을 없앱니다. 머지 후 Cursor 로그인된 환경에서 ocx debug provider on으로 강제 툴 콜을 한 번 돌리고, checkpoint-commit-refusedcapturedShape.pendingToolCalls를 읽어 게이트 유지/제거를 결정하세요. > 0이면 커버리지 증명으로 게이트 제거를 검토하고, === 0이면 현재 게이트가 맞고 이 방향은 닫으면 됩니다.

The audit named readPaths, previousWorkspaceUris and the fileStates keys as fields a later extension could leak. Record that in the code rather than only in the review thread.

Maintainer integration on `dev` per `MAINTAINERS.md` (no second approval required for `dev`).

Exact-head CI evidence — head `f529134b8`: 25 SUCCESS, 0 failing, 0 pending.

Local evidence at the same tree: `bun run typecheck` clean; `bun test tests/providers/cursor/cursor-tool-suspended-checkpoint.test.ts` 5 pass / 0 fail; `privacy:scan` passed.

Reviewer verdict: pass on all four audited items — privacy (counts only, no snapshot strings), safety (fail-closed on malformed bytes, `fromBinary` is the only throwing call), cost (the decode is genuinely skipped when provider debug is off), and correctness of the `pendingToolCalls` claim against the generated schema comment. The reviewer also named `readPaths`, `previousWorkspaceUris` and the `fileStates` keys as fields a later extension could leak; that is now pinned as a constraint in the helper's own doc comment rather than left in the review thread.

Security scope: diagnostics only, debug-gated, counts only. No routing, request, or commit behaviour changes. No auth, credential, workflow or release-automation surface.

No outstanding maintainer objection.
